The astonishing journey of a bright, utterly displaced boy, from the short-lived African nation of Biafra, to Jamaica, to the harshest streets of Los Angeles—a searing memoir that adds fascinating depth to the coming-to-America story The first time Chude-Sokei realizes that he is “first son of the first son” of a renowned leader of the bygone African nation is in Uncle Daddy and Big Auntie’s strict religious household in Jamaica, where he lives with other abandoned children. A visiting African has just fallen to his knees to shake him by the “Is this the boy? Is this him?” Chude-Sokei’s immersion in the politics of race and belonging across the landscape of the African diaspora takes a turn when his traumatized mother, who has her own extraordinary history as the onetime “Jackie O of Biafra,” finally sends for him to come live with her. In Inglewood, Los Angeles, on the eve of gangsta rap and the LA riots, it’s as if he’s fallen to Earth. In this world, anything alien—definitely Chude-Sokei’s secret obsession with science fiction and David Bowie—is a danger, and his yearning to become a Black American gets deeply, sometimes absurdly, complicated. Ultimately, it is a boisterous pan-African family of honorary aunts, uncles, and cousins that becomes his secret society, teaching him the redemptive skill of navigating not just Blackness, but Blacknesses , in his America.

GREAT ITEM
Material Type: Carbon Fiber, Material Type: Carbon Fiber
This cupholder fits perfectly in my 2005 BMW 325xi (E46). I love the carbon fiber texture on it, it is exactly what I was expecting. It is super easy to install and to use, it looks great and it is definitely worth the money. The quality is great, it came with no imperfections, I would buy this item. (In the photo there is a black and a tan center console for color matching).

These are very well built and look great in my custom console. The color fits very good with my build, and it's very functional.

Fits 2001 325i
Material Type: Carbon Fiber
I love my 2001 E46 (325i), but one challenge is that the plastics no longer remain "dry" in the summer heat, instead becoming a sticky mess. Picked this up to replace my existing cup-holder. I was optimistic that the black carbon fiber mesh would blend in with my otherwise black interior, but it's not the same shade of black, so the new part looks a bit out of place. No worries, I just need more carbon fiber replacement components! This fits perfectly, snaps into place, and is definitely an improvement over ~25-year old plastic. Great value too, an inexpensive upgrade that has real functional improvements -- items in the cupholder no longer get discolored with "sticky" plastic in the sun.

Works as expected
Style: HEPA
This filter fit just right on my FJ cruiser. Snuggle fit and no issues. You can't tell this apart form other cabinair filters. Smells like the same clean smell when you first change it.
